Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1352 - 511: Living Advertisement (Part 3)

Huo Donghua was puzzled, "Was Di Baolun the First Level Officer of the Political Department of the Military and Political Department on South Nine b star that you met, Earl, before you landed there? Is he important?"

Ren Zhong: "Although Di Baolun is just a mere First Level Officer, the lazy head of the Political Department often tosses many miscellaneous tasks to him. Thus, although his official rank is small, his authority is extensive. This includes the monitoring space station next to the Fold Jump Subspace Channel outside the Star System, which he is responsible for. Moreover, Di Baolun does not have a noble status; he hails from a small town on South Nine D Star, considered a rare cautious and thorough person within the Nanxiang Star Cluster, climbing to the position of First Level Officer purely through hard work."

"Old Huo, remember, the true ending for the Red Blade Clan is neither the small South Nine Star System nor the insignificant Nanxiang Star Cluster. So we need to keep our eyes open and observe the outside world, searching for all potential allies without fearing infiltration to the point of rejecting all potential partners. That would be avoiding problems rather than solving them. Uniting all who can be united with us is the only way we can succeed in our conquest of the Star Sea. Of course, we must also have a clear understanding of our people’s superiority, as it helps build confidence. Compared to those established powers in the Nanxiang Star Cluster, which have existed for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, we are still young. Yet, we should also learn to view others equally, not underestimate others while esteeming ourselves. Strategically, we must despise our enemies, while tactically, we must respect them."

After hearing this, Huo Donghua pondered for a long time, "Understood. I will not fail in my mission."

As someone whose personal relationship with Ren Zhong wasn’t that close, Huo Donghua rarely had in-depth conversations with Ren Zhong.

But he knew Ren Zhong’s intentions.

With numerous core personnel being sent into forced hibernation now, only a few of the old guard are active, and Huo Donghua is unquestionably Ren Zhong’s right-hand man. Over the next thirty years, he will not enter hibernation until he burns through his last day of physiological life.

He must take over Ju Qingmeng’s authority, overseeing everything with the second-tier team including Ou Youning, Zheng Dafa, Liang Qifa, Ma Shengfu, and Gao Ya.

In addition, Huo Donghua assigned himself a new role: to serve as the lead lecturer at the Red Blade Youth Political Academy, fostering more management successors for Red Blade Star.

Ren Zhong has already noticed this and personally advised him, aiming to indirectly guide the course of civilization, correct paths, and prevent straying.

After Huo Donghua left, Ren Zhong summoned Ou Youning and Zheng Tian to explain the upcoming arrangements.

Ren Zhong instructed Ou Youning to break through Di Baolun and develop him into their ally.

Meanwhile, they should modify the exterior of the thousand Enhanced Armored Ships heading to Shattered Star Ring, making them identical to the usual transport ships used within the South Nine Star System.

Once the Viscount Nan Jiu’s merchant fleet is ready to set off, the expeditionary fleet should break up into smaller units, stealthily blending in behind the merchant fleet, entering the Fold Jump Subspace Channel just after them.

Enhanced Armored Ships possess strong cosmic stealth performance but cannot escape the naked-eye observation of space station staff near the exit of the Fold Jump Channel. When entering and exiting the Subspace Channel, ships will be forced to deactivate their stealth mode and release noticeable radiation energy tides, exposing their hideout.

Thus, bribing Di Baolun to overlook the ship count of the Viscount Nan Jiu’s merchant fleet is the sole method to sneak out.

"Once successfully inside the Subspace Channel, target the exit at the Observatory Space Station. At that time, Viscount Wen Yuanbo will offer us cover and more detailed real-time intel."

"For material transport and supply, employ the same strategy, deploying another thousand non-enhanced armed ships similarly. Simply select a desolate Star Zone near Observatory Space Station for material transfer."

"Over time, people within the Nanxiang Star Cluster will notice Liu An’s blockade is merely symbolic. Some will gradually link the mysterious disappearance of pirates in Shattered Star Ring to us, but they will not have any evidence and continue to fail to track the expeditionary fleet. This will serve as the best live advertisement for our new coating."

"Eventually, these individuals will ignore Liu An’s ban, queuing up to purchase from us."

After listening, Ou Youning enthusiastically gave a thumbs up, "Boss, you’re awesome! Not moving from your seat, yet already securing victory from afar."

Ren Zhong: "Shut up! Can you change your annoying habit?"

Ou Youning: "I can’t. Boss, you’re just too awesome, I can’t help it."

Zheng Tian: "Pfft..."
